Raye Ice Cream Man. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So this producer hit me up on the DM
He told me, "Hey, I really like what you are doing"
He told me, "Come 'round to the studio, let's cook it"
He told me, "Come to catch a vibe and make some music"
But when I got there, shoulda heard what he was saying
Trying to touch me, trying to f*ck me, I'm not playing
I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it
How God damn dare you do that to me, really?

[Pre-Chorus]
Come in like the ice cream man
Till I felt his ice-cold hands
And how I pay the pricе now, damn
God damn, no, God damn
Everything you did, it left me in a ruin
And no, I didn't say a word, I guеss that proves it
I'm a woman, oh, yes
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a woman
I'm a very f*cking brave strong woman
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
Man, I've been broken for a moment
I've been through it all
It's even harder to be brave alone
I was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman
A very f*cking strong woman

[Verse 2]
And I was seven
Just twenty-one, was seventeen and was eleven
It took a while to understand what my consent means
If I was ruthless, they'd be in the penitentiary
But all the stress of being honest wouldn't help me
I pushed it down, but it was livin' in me rent free And then I fell into some things that weren't healthy
A place where no one hurt me, asking them to help me (Help me)

[Pre-Chorus]
Come in like the ice cream man
Till I felt his ice-cold hands
And how I pay the price now, damn
God damn
Everything you did, it left me in a ruin
And no, I didn't say a word, I guess that proves it
I'm a woman
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a woman
I'm a very f*cking brave strong woman
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
Man, I've been broken for a moment
I've been through it all
It's even harder to be brave alone
I was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman
A very f*cking strong woman (Mmm)

[Bridge]
I wish I could say how I feel, how I felt
And explain why I'm silently blaming myself
'Cause I put on these faces, pretending I'm fine
And then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind
In my head, always going round and round in my head
Your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin
You made me frame myself for your sin
You pathetic dead excuse of a man

[Outro]
Ooh, I'm a woman
Ooh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh
And I'll be damned if I let a men ruin, oh
I'm a very f*cking brave strong woman, yeah
